Sweet!

Tia's Tips: I had such a great time last Paper Shelter card challenge with the Retro Chic-Collection, that I went back to it for another image. The tip here-buying collections is a GREAT way to save $$$ and a fun way to work within a theme.

My Card Details:

If you haven't seen The Retro Chic Collection here it is! And it is adorable!

I have been having such a great time coloring the images from this collection and "Sweet!" was no exception!

As Chocolate is our theme this week, the ice cream shake or malt is obviously chocolate, but I also incorporated chocolate layers in the card. With the cardstock, pattern paper, hair and clothes of my image-all inspired by shades of CHOCOLATE!

Normally I like the look of pink with brown, but this time I really like the bold offset of red. Kinda makes you think Chocolate covered cherries or Chocolate dipped strawberries-Oh YUM!!!

And I love The Paper Shelter images so much! It's always difficult for me to print them out small. Since I wanted to really enjoy this print, I ended up with a 6"x6" square card base. But the size really allowed me to add some nice large layers of design paper.

Here are my COPIC colors use:

Reds: R05; R24; R29; R56; R59

Browns: E11; E13; E21; E23; E25; E29; E35; E51

Blues: B000; B12; B21; B23; B24; B91; B95; B97

Grays: C0; C2; C4; C6

Black 100

I can't wait to see how you created with Chocolate! Did it make you think of sweets? Or lots of lovely layers of color?
